Music legend Sir Elton John is set to rock the Vic again this weekend when he brings his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour to the home of Watford FC – and it is not too late to be a part of the audience.
The former Watford FC chairman and lifelong Hornets fan will be performing at Vicarage Road on Sunday and Monday and several hundred extra tickets have now been made available for each night.
These are priced at £90, £120 and £150 and can be purchased from Ticketmaster via this link.
This will be the fourth time Sir Elton has played at the club with whom he will always be synonymous, having convinced a young manager named Graham Taylor to move from Lincoln City to move to Vicarage Road in 1977.
Together they set about creating what is still regarded as the golden era in the club’s history as Watford rose from Division Four to runners-up spot in Division One, qualified for Europe and reached their first FA Cup final in 1984.
The club’s Honorary Life-President first performed at Vicarage Road in 1974, returning in 2005 and his last concert at the stadium was in 2010.
Sir Elton performed at the BST Hyde Park festival in London on Friday with a set that spanned his career.
The 75-year-old singer and pianist performed songs from either end of his half-century as a recording artist, with dedications to late collaborators Aretha Franklin and George Michael along the way.
He was watched throughout by his young sons, Zachary and Elijah.
Sir Elton’s appearance at the festival came part-way through his marathon tour.
The 300-plus date worldwide run is due to conclude next year and will mark his retirement from touring after 52 years on the road.
He opened Hyde Park with crowd favourite Bennie And The Jets before a setlist of more than 20 songs from his collection, including the likes of Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer and his first hit, Your Song, and concluding with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
